Marcus “The Irish Hand Grenade” Davis (14-3 MMA, 6-1 UFC), fresh off a first-round victory at this past weekend’s UFC 80 event, says his feud with opponent Jess Liaudin is far from over. But the surging welterweight contender has more pressing matters at hand, including a June 14 fight date in London.

Davis and Josh Burkman (9-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC), who is scheduled to fight in the main event of Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 12 event, both were featured on Monday’s edition of TAGG Radio.

Davis, the winner of 11 straight fights (including six straight in the UFC), discussed his well-publicized feud with Liaudin, as well as his next bout in the UFC. (And no, he won’t be fighting Jon Fitch as a replacement for Akihiro Gono at UFC 82 in March.)

“He’s a pr**k,” Davis said of Liaudin. “He was running his mouth the whole time up to the fight. He was saying things that fighters normally say… but then he started to go on a disrespectful side.

“Then he apologized at the (pre-fight) press conference. But not even an hour after the press conference, he started getting personal. He was saying that (my) stand-up sucked, that as soon as the fight started (I was) going to take him down… then he started saying I was a liar, that I was a fake. That I’m a fake Irishman.”

Davis won the fight in convincing fashion, earning the KO with a brutal left hook just 64 seconds into the fight. But the end of the fight did not bring reconciliation for either fighter.

“I didn’t squash it after the fights either,” Davis said. “There was no reason really to go in that direction.”

Davis said his next fight will be on June 14, at an as-of-yet-unannounced card to take place at the O2 Arena in London, England. And while a specific opponent has not yet been named for the UFC 86 fight, Davis said he has been told by UFC officials that it will be “a top-10, probably top-five” guy.

After Davis, Burkman then dropped by the show to talk about Wednesday’s big fight.

Burkman said he was excited for his main event with Mike “Quick” Swick (10-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) in the main event of UFC Fight Night 12. And while it will be Burkman’s first time headlining a UFC card, he said there was no added pressure.

“If anything it’s more of a hassle, with all the interviews and stuff,” Burkman said. “I feel like I’ve had more pressure on me with other fights… I enjoy the spotlight, and I don’t mind the pressure. I enjoy it… I’m real excited about this fight.”

Burkman said he is comfortable no matter what course the fight takes.

“For a lot of my fights I always have these preconceived notions of how I want the fight to go down,” Burkman said. “Now, I’ve been working on my hands, I’ve been working on my ground game, and I’m not going to try and force the fight to go anywhere. Wherever the fight goes, I feel comfortable.”

And while the fight will be Swick’s first at welterweight since dropping from middleweight, Burkman isn’t concerned about being pushed around.

“I’m not worried about the size being a factor by being stronger or something,” Burkman said. “I think I match up pretty good in strength with anyone in our weight class. I think the biggest thing is him being 6-foot-1 and having that reach… But really, I’m not worried about what Mike’s going to do. We’ve been working real hard on what we want to do.”

Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 12 from The Palms Las Vegas will be broadcast at 9 p.m. (ET/PT) on Spike TV.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
